I think my soft spot for two strokes rivals Eccos's obsession with spine frames.

This is awesome what is it and where did you find it

A Grove · « **Reply #1178 on:** March 19, 2009, 05:46:30 AM »

isnt it a "rotary" 4cyl. 2-stroke with a total bore of ~500? Its not an actual running bike... Its a rendered prototype. (as far as I know..)

Wow, this is an interesting take on the cafe swing of things.

Never really seen this before, especially on a newer bike.

Cool find.

There is a mostly complete 650 Turbo, 4 houses away from me this instant.. .. sitting under a tarp...

Buy it.... ship it to me.... I'll make it run with some serious grunt... ship it back and you can stuff it in whatever you like.

Its 'Designer'
Looks bloody awful in my opinion, probably should have stayed as someones school design exercise.
Doesn't have any real practical application, lets just make an 'X' engine, mount it as high as possible so front wheel doesn't hit head/cylinder, then make it minimalistic and 'modern'.
I know its not supposed to be practical but thats just a museum of modern art piece. For $1,500,000 or so, I'll knock you up something 'pretty' that you cant ride more than around parking lot

Ecosse posted "Man, one of these days I wanna Honda twin... no, two. One to Bob along the lines of this, the other a repli-racer with a Tony Foale frame."

So how do you like this one???

I recognize this bike, it is Dutch!!

Thanks RR, my fantasy garage has many things ('cages' too) but if the grins my 550/4 give me is any indication, owning that racer would hurt!

Does anyone have info on this?

Ecosse · « **Reply #1188 on:** March 19, 2009, 11:34:34 AM »

If mine I'd like to run lights for road use and use those sweet curved pipes I see here and there. I like the cowling for the tach too.

I know we have this agree / killeachotheronline kind of relationship, but I'm going to call you out on this one.

1.5mil?? C'mon you can do better than that. The boys at OCC could get 1.5 just for painting their names on it. With all the experience and skill you have, I'd say you are lowballing.

And don't lie either.... you'd ride the piss out of it. I know guys like you.

Take it to your local track and wow all the new kids on the block with your funky "x-stroke" curve burner.

Pretty soon your 1.5 is starting to look like 150.

Especially if you put that racing colored plastic wire loom on it. That'll add 5 horses right there!!!

d00d, that racing colored wire loom nets me 10-12 more whp easy on my finely tuned butt dyno. That's with the red, results may vary depending on color.

I personally prefer the neon yellow. Stands out in a crowd, yet gives your bike/car/plane/spacecraft that special touch that really says you care.

I get great deals on it too. Seems that part stores cannot sell the stuff. Losers.

I suppose the discourse over that computer rendered bike, and hp #'s for neon plug wires, could be considered inspirational.

But any crit on my part might just be the pot/kettle phenomenon in play.

Discourse? I have no discourse. Just ruffling CrazyPJ's feathers is all.

Criticize all you like. I'm shameless as all get out.

Okay, Ecosse... Since you have a 550, how about this one?

RR

Ecosse · « **Reply #1197 on:** March 19, 2009, 03:01:01 PM »

So, we get to see RR's cruel side, huh?

I bet you were smiling when you posted that gem.

If you have info and/or more images please... be kind and post.

Is that frame a one off? Pardon my ignorance.

Ecosse · « **Reply #1198 on:** March 19, 2009, 03:03:26 PM »

There lurks around here a couple pix of an obscure works 500/550. This isn't it, right?

voxonda · « **Reply #1199 on:** March 19, 2009, 03:13:34 PM »

This is the bike of a German called Kuni Muller. It is a original frame but a the engine is tuned with CB750 pistons and Yoshi cam. Front Grimeca and rear the CB 750 drum. Nice bike.
